More information

Flowers display variable, complex coloration, ranging from white with a yellowish cast to honey tones. Color is more intense at the center and remains fairly stable overall, but the blooms have poor rain tolerance. Flowers are borne in dense clusters, up to 8 cm across, with a scent of rose oil and apples. The bush typically carries clusters averaging 5 blooms each. There is a brief pause between flowering flushes. The shrub is below average in height; shoots are somewhat weak. The crown is dome-shaped; the plant does not exceed 100 cm in height and 75 cm in width. It grows better in hot climates, yet tolerates cold conditions. Foliage is dark green, glossy, dense, and large, covering the plant from top to bottom. The variety shows disease resistance; minor black spot may appear at the end of the season. Shoots droop under the weight of the blooms.

The term “English Roses” formally applies only to David Austin’s introductions. Louisa Stone forms a full bush and double, many-petaled flowers with old-rose-style shape and aroma. Flower color is apricot, with a salmon-pink center and ivory-white petal edges. The fragrance is light. The shrub reaches up to 80 cm in height and is well branched. Shoots spread outward, giving a width of about 60 cm.
